Laura Isola, Honolulu - HawaiiMember Since April 2010Artist Statement "Mana" is the Hawaiian word for "Spirit", "Na" means "from" or "by" and "loa" means "a lot" so Namanaloa = From a lot of Spirit... that I daily find in the air and in the beautiful nature of Hawaii that I am lucky enough to call home. Namanaloa has started as a way to express and share my love for this gorgeous Paradise, the closest to Heaven that I have found on Earth, hoping to uplift your spirit as It continues to uplift mine. Until imagination has taken over showing the bigger picture of limitless reality, eternal beauty, unveiling meanings, found within.Born and raised in Italy.Permanent resident in Honolulu (Hawaii).Certified Art studies at St Martins School of Art (London).Fashion Design Degree at F.I.T.
